McMaho is a putz. Obviously someone made a mistake...and he could have gotten a sweetheart deal to graciously switch his event..probably even get some of the Nugget players to show up and/or do some promos..and gotten a lot of good will..instead, he comes out with this crapola..

Agreed.

Sometimes I surf the WWF. It's like watching a car wreck, it's hard to turn away.
